My Current Works in Progress

My Current Works in Progress

This is the sixth and final week in the blog hop I’m hosting for writers. Our topic this week is current work(s) in progress. If you’d like to share your current WIP with us, write a post and then come back and link in by clicking on the graphic above. If you’re a reader, click on the graphic and check out what authors are working on. We hope you’ll follow our blogs so that when our books are published, you’ll be among the first to know 🙂

My last post was about the San Francisco Wedding Planner Series I’m working on along with five other authors. You can find more information here: San Francisco Wedding Planner.

In this blog hop, I’ve written about Anna, (Olga’s mother) one of my favorite characters from Olga’s Discovery, which is a full-length historical fiction novel I’m in the middle of writing. Here’s the synopsis:

Twenty-two-year-old Olga Tymchuk, a newly graduated teacher, eagerly anticipates marrying her fiancee, Viktor, in July 1959. However, before they marry, Olga is committed to teaching for a year in Glendale, Alberta as a requirement for the bursary she received in university. Viktor and Olga are separated when Viktor accepts a challenging job as a scientific researcher for the National Research Council in Ontario.

Olga is enjoying a challenging first year of teaching when Viktor is injured in a chemical accident. He seems to be recovering well, but then Olga receives a telegram that will change her life forever. Olga is drawn into a search for the truth, which forces her to deal with uncooperative hospital officials, death threats, and a sudden disappearance.

I’m also putting together a Twitter manual for writers. There are many different ways to share information now and I’m researching several options to share this information and make it practical.

My other project will be a fiction series about Cecile and Colin, characters from my novella, Cecile’s Christmas Miracle. Cecile has decided spending Christmas in the desert doesn’t have to be depressing and Colin is on his way to join Cecile. However, they haven’t seen each other for over a year. Will the attraction between them endure? There is also the threat of the clinic being closed, and the village being resettled. What part should expatriates play in solving political issues?

If you have questions about any of my works in progress, please ask me in the comments below. Thanks 🙂

My, you’re busy, Ruth! Will you be coming to the Write! event in June? I’m not 100% sure yet. I look forward to learning more about Twitter and I love your original Wedding Planner idea of a share write.

Ruth,
Thanks for running the blog hop. It has been fascinating not only reading others posts but actually writing my own. Have you been to the desert? If not maybe you need to come down here and do some research?
Blessings,
Janis

Janis,
You’re welcome. I’ve gained many benefits from organizing the blog hop and I’m glad it has been helpful for you too.
Your questions about the desert made me smile 🙂 I’ve never been to Arizona, but I have been to the Kalahari Desert, which is where Cecile’s Christmas Miracle takes place. I wouldn’t mind going back!

I’ll join the chorus too Ruth, and thank you so much for organizing the blog hop – it was a blast! And I too a looking forward to reading your books and the Twitter manual. May God bless the work of your hands!
